The Patuxent River Naval Air Museum had a superior showing at the Patuxent River Naval Air Stations, 2011 Air Expo on September 3 and 4, 2011. The Expo, featuring the Blue Angels precision flight demonstration team (Left above) drew over 200,000 spectators. The museum sought increased membership and offered a genuine T-45 cockpit in which families could photograph their children (right above). Both attractions drew large crowds. The museum also remained open after the Air Expo events as a convenient stopping off point for folks who sought a way to avoid the post-event heavy traffic.
